[CES 2010] Concept Laptop With Transparent AMOLED Display

The group behind the OLED display technology was showing off this pretty neat concept laptop that features a see-through AMOLED display. Right now it seems like a solution looking for a problem, but anyone who’s ever had to look around their laptop screen in order to see their TV will immediately see the benefits. The display has a resolution of just 960×540, and is about 38% transparent, but it’s also 10bit which makes the colors really vibrant. Now I can’t say I’d run out and buy one right now, but the idea would be a lot more practical if and when they added an option to switch the transparency on and off as needed.
